I’ve seen so many people complaining about Kirk saying “I’m from space” because no “He’s from Iowa. He only works in outer space.” *rolls eyes*

ignoring the fact he’s just trying to be funny with Gillian in TVH, pre-TMP Kirk spent most of his life in space, he lived there, so encountering something he wouldn’t encounter on a space ship making him say “I’m from space” tracks imho

Whereas by TVH, Kirk only worked in space occasionally. For the past 10 years he had a desk job, and Generations even said he had retired from Starfleet (pre-TWOK) - he bought a house, had a dog, and had a girlfriend. He didn’t spend much time in space at all.

Therefore “I only work in outer space” makes sense when he’s 52yo.

#also there's no guarantee that that kirk is actually prime kirk. he's wearing captain stripes - could be time travel could be alternate #universe. who even knows without watching it lol #but it still tracks #and also if he and la'an time travel to the past then it makes even more sense for him to just be like 'i'm from space' to la'an #snw nonsense #tos nonsense #But also like people change. Why would you want him to parrot lines.#anyway in this house we respect snw kirk #< hopefully i won't regret this LMAO #but i'm very good with making stuff work for me lol #people: snw and disco don't fit with tos #me: i'll make it fit :D #it's not like i don't have to do it with tos itself #because i don't care about visuals or the universe as a whole. i mostly care about characters and their development #(i should not be allowed reading other people's opinions and complaints lol)#jim kirk
